Sadio Mané has revealed that he turned down an approach from Manchester United before his move to Liverpool.

The Senegalese striker knew that Anfield was the right place for him, particularly with Jurgen Klopp at the helm.

Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, he said: "There was interest from a lot of clubs, not just Manchester United , but as soon as I knew Liverpool were interested I just felt it was the right club with the right coach. It was right for me to come here."

"It was the right move. I recognise the size of the club and to progress to another level as a player this was the club and the moment for me. It was a step I needed to make."
